Important matters concerning the existence of Humanity - BACON

That's my dog every time I cook meat. Right underfoot, waiting to be stepped on while licking my leg. When it's bacon we reserve a slice to dole out on her kibble for 2 or 3 meals. 🥓🥓🥓

That’s called the “bacon tax.” It’s under the same section of the dog tax code as the “cheese tax”
 
This is true. My dog always got the "last bite" of whatever I was eating. Even bacon.

I just want to go on record that these meat sticks I bought only taste a little bit like bacon. Certainly not enough like bacon to emblazon the package with BACON.

Also, unlike the usual meat snacks I have, these are loaded with fat. 16 grams of fat, with 6 of them saturated. I'm sure I just rented these things.
It's going to be bad, later. Clearly, this was a stupid idea. :p

If the rashers of bacon are an odd number, dogs split the odd one. If even, DH and I each sacrifice to meet expectant boxer eyeballs boring into us, complex with winning looks.
 
Grilled these last night, with Wright’s bacon strips available to line your grilled garlic oil brushed Schmidt’s potato bun.

Most acceptable. My condiment was a dab of hot red pepper jelly (odd, but I like it). DH chose his favorite mustard, Kosciusko’s spicy brown mustard.

Do you use okra? Grew up eating okra, but am very picky about okra that hasn’t had its slime mastered.

Absolutely. Ain’t gumbo without it. 😉 To the roux, I add the “trinity.” Then the okra, and I let it cook until it looks like a pot of melted Crunch bars. Than all the other stuff, followed by a long simmer. Semi-special occasion tonight, so I’m adding oysters just before serving. Pass the filé, please. 🤗

Mmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmmmmm. And meanwhile, a roux made with bacon fat holds all the goodness together.

DD had a long weekend in the middle of TBS. She surprised us by flying home unannounced. Said she wanted to go skiing, look for a car and, I quote, “have some gumbo.” 😄

Live near a Trader Joe’s? Like mushrooms?

Buy the below in the freezer case, and make 1 change to the directions: a few minutes before end of cooking, sprinkle a generous handful of cooked, crumbled bacon on top. Shareable size as a generous appetizer, add a salad - or just eat the entire dang thing because you’re home alone. Or your spouse does not like mushrooms, bwah ha ha.

Picked up a 3-pack of this stuff the other day. Hickory is my favorite. I was hooked by their tag line: "Everything should taste like Bacon"


Apparently it's vegetarian (meaning there is no real bacon in there), so the fact that it says "Nothing Artificial" seems deceptive, to me.
Nonetheless it does taste bacony, so there you go.
